Gloucester Schooner Festival 2017

The Gloucester Schooner Festival is a wonderful celebration of Gloucester's fishing and maritime history during labor day weekend. This year's festival, hosted by Maritime Gloucester, is Gloucester’s major marine event, with participating vessels coming from ports along the Eastern seaboard and beyond. There will be both large and small vessels—ranging from 19 feet to over 100 feet in length. You will see new boats and old boats, from newly built (Ardelle - launched 2011) to over 100 years old!

Gloucester comes alive for this annual celebration, with lots of great family-friendly activities, music, parades (of sail) and fun events that make Gloucester a wonderful Labor day weekend destination.
